Techniques Of Manual Therapy

There are a variety of manual therapy techniques available to patients. The techniques may include, but are not limited to:

Manual traction

The physical therapist will apply gentle pressure to a certain area of the body during manual traction to gently stretch the soft tissues and restore normal, natural motion. While this procedure can be used on other areas of the body, such as the arms, legs, and back, it is most often used on the neck.

Joint mobilization

When you experience extreme discomfort following an injury, it is usually the product of a limited joint. Our physical therapists are specially qualified in the mobilization of confined joints by applying pressure at a low velocity.

Soft tissue massage

Physical therapy massage therapies vary from what you would hope to see at a salon. These are more treatment-oriented and have a medicinal function. Massage treatments are used by our physical therapist in New Brighton, PA to split up scar tissue and adhesions created by inflammation or damage in order to manipulate the soft tissues. This is accomplished by the use of deep pressure and rhythmic stretching, which assists them in locating and mobilizing highly restricted areas of the body. Additionally, these techniques also assist in increasing blood flow and circulation to the affected muscles and soft tissues.

Spinal manipulation

Spinal manipulation is a gentle, hands-on manual therapy technique used to assess and improve spinal function and relieve pain. It may help with joint pain relief, inflammation reduction, and nerve function improvement.
